Often women get a bad rap when it comes to supporting each other. There’s a zillion articles and stories about how they tear each other down, rip them to shreds behind their backs and try to sabotage them in some way herunterladen. And sometimes unfortunately, that’s true.
But more often than not, it goes the other way. And there’s nothing like a breast cancer diagnosis to prove it download or download.
As soon as I mentioned my diagnosis, women I know who also have or had breast cancer instantly reached out to me. Friends of friends who know people who have been through it or are going through it put me in touch with their friends herunterladen. And every last one of them, without hesitation, offered me their help, assistance, knowledge, ears and shoulders. Some of these women are now cancer free herunterladen. Others are still in various stages of treatment. Everyone pretty much went on the same journey, some just took different roads. A few didn’t need chemo, some chose mastectomies over lumpectomies, and one is a recurring survivor Farm frenzy 2 free download german. All of these women have given me the gift of their time, patience, understanding and compassion, but they also have given me something that is needed more than anything else when going down this path – strength download series for free.
I started thinking about them and how amazing they all are. As I worried in the middle of the night about being able to handle all that is coming down the pike, I couldn’t help but think of them and how they made it through and made sure I knew I would too filme auf tablet downloaden. I couldn’t put my finger on exactly how to describe them all.
Until recently when I got an email from my cousin, Erin, asking how I was doing fotos von sd karte herunterladen. She signed off with, “I love you. You are badass…”

And there you have it. There is no other way to describe this band of women sticking together and stepping up. They are badasses who, after finding out another was among them, instantly pulled me in and created a protective barrier between me and cancer. They are not going to let it get to me, not while they’re around. They have gone to war and came out victorious, raising their physical, emotional and mental scars up like trophies, their last F U to cancer. And they are making damn sure I will raise my own when it’s time.
It’s every last one of these badasses who I will be thinking of as the medical oncologist goes through my long treatment plan with me again on Friday morning. And when the nurse puts that IV needle in to start the first phase of my chemo. And when I drag myself from appointment to appointment to appointment, making sure I’m strong enough to continue.
And it will be every last one of these badasses that I will thank when I finally hear the words in April of 2017, “You’re all done.”
And since I’m now a member of this club no one wants to belong to, this much I know; When I get that call, email or text that someone who knows someone who knows someone just got diagnosed with breast cancer, I will be there for her, letting her know that she too, is a badass.
Unfortunately this is so true. Cancer touches so many of our lives in so may ways. It is sad that it takes this awful Disease to bring us Woman all together United to fight together and keep each other afloat during our darkest hardest times. You are so very brave and I admire your writings. Hang tough and I will be keeping you in my prayers. Be a Badass Friday!!!!!!!
Thank you, Cheryl!
Though I have not met you Deb Cote I know you are a friend of Amy Keith and Quannah Leonard. With them for friends I know they will always be your wing women as you go through your treatment. I have had several 1st cousins with breast cancer as well as several friends. I had a sister with colon cancer. I commend you on your website here. Be brave in your days ahead. And know I, too, will run with you in your tribe of badasses! I send you healing white light your way!
Thank you Denise! All badasses are welcome! 🙂
Deb,as I have told a few people including your A.Diane you are such a strong person, and in this instance I have to say you inherited that from your father. Through all his illness he remained strong.
You can and will do this,can’t wait for the you’re cured party.
Deb Cote. President of the Badass Club. That’s my girl. I love you.
I think of him every time I feel like having a pity party. Talk about mental and physical toughness. And yes, April 2017 will be a Badass Blowout! 🙂 Love you too! xoxo
You blow my mind when I read these articles you have written. Funny I always thought you were a badass before the cancer diagnosis. Keep the faith and keep sharing what you are going thru. It is helping someone. Love you.
Thank you, Carolyn, that means a lot. I hope it helps someone. I do know that a lot of people have gone out and gotten their mammograms, which makes me happy. Love you too. XOXO
My mom was a bad ass and if I were able to tell her today about you she would say.. That Deb is a true bad ass and has the strength of ten to fight this. You got this girl. Xoxox.
She totally was! And still is up there. That’s where you get it from. 🙂 XOXO
Love it! I also know that Badass Bitches show their badass-ness is many different ways. Some volunteer everything extra second they have to helping others, some raise money tirelessly and others just plain live as though this shitty disease never touched them. I’ve chosen to say Fuck You to BC by quietly living and having babies I didnt think I would have.
So Miss Sow Cow Bad Ass- after this is all done (and probably during) I cannot wait to see what your chosen path is. All together now- just a big middle finger to BC please! Love your blog, love your humor, love your friendship. Love you!
And what beautiful babies you have! That’s the biggest middle finger to BC and chemo you could have given. Listening to your gut and intuition and telling your doctor what you wanted to do – and then doing it! And while you are quietly over there living your amazing life with your beautiful family, you were also the first one to call in record time when I told you I was diagnosed. So you get a new Badass Badge just for that. I love you too and oh…SOW COW! xoxo
A beautiful entry. Just beautiful. Pass the Kleenex please.
Thank you, Candace and thanks for all your hopeful messages and shared stories. xoxo
